Gemini Batch

---

Queue-driven batch processing for the Google Gemini API in Laravel. Send hundreds of AI requests as a single batch job at 50% cost — with optional PrismPHP integration.

use ObayesShelton\GeminiBatch\Facades\GeminiBatch;

$batch = GeminiBatch::create('gemini-2.0-flash')
    ->name('product-descriptions')
    ->onEachResult(ProductCopyHandler::class)
    ->then(NotifyAdmin::class);

foreach ($products as $product) {
    $batch->addTextRequest(
        request: Prism::text()
            ->using(Provider::Gemini, 'gemini-2.0-flash')
            ->withPrompt("Write a short product description for: {$product->name}"),
        key: "product-{$product->id}",
        meta: ['product_id' => $product->id],
    );
}

$batch->dispatch(); // Queue handles submit → poll → process

Key Features

• 50% cost reduction via the Gemini Batch API
• Queue-driven pipeline — submit, poll with exponential backoff, process results
• Fluent API — create, add requests, dispatch
• PrismPHP integration — addTextRequest() and addStructuredRequest() (optional)
• Per-request callbacks and batch completion handlers
• Auto-detection of inline vs file mode based on payload size
• Artisan commands — gemini-batch:list, status, check, cancel, prune
• Token tracking — prompt, completion, and thought tokens per request

Installation

composer require obayesshelton/gemini-batch
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=gemini-batch-migrations
php artisan migrate

Add your Gemini API key to .env — same key as PrismPHP, no extra credentials:

GEMINI_API_KEY=your-api-key

• Configuration — Polling intervals, queues, input modes
• Artisan Commands — Monitor and manage batches from the CLI

Getting Started

The package works standalone or with PrismPHP. Without Prism, use raw Gemini payloads:

GeminiBatch::create('gemini-2.0-flash')
    ->addRawRequest(
        request: ['contents' => [['role' => 'user', 'parts' => [['text' => 'Describe the process of photosynthesis.']]]]],
        key: 'photosynthesis',
    )
    ->addRawRequest(
        request: ['contents' => [['role' => 'user', 'parts' => [['text' => 'What are the main ingredients in a Margherita pizza?']]]]],
        key: 'pizza-ingredients',
    )
    ->dispatch();

Adding Requests

Three integration layers — use whichever fits your stack:

Method	Requires	Use Case
addRawRequest()	Nothing	Direct Gemini API payloads
addTextRequest()	echolabsdev/prism	Prism text generation
addStructuredRequest()	echolabsdev/prism	Prism structured JSON output

Result Handlers

Implement ResultHandler to process each result as it arrives:

use ObayesShelton\GeminiBatch\Contracts\ResultHandler;

class ProductCopyHandler implements ResultHandler
{
    public function __invoke(GeminiBatchRequest $request, BatchResult $result): void
    {
        Product::find($request->meta['product_id'])
            ->update(['description' => $result->text()]);
    }
}

Configuration

Publish the config with php artisan vendor:publish --tag=gemini-batch-config. Key options:

Option	Default	Description
polling.interval	30	Seconds between status polls
polling.max_interval	120	Max backoff cap
queue	default	Queue for batch jobs
input_mode	auto	auto, inline, or file

Artisan Commands

php artisan gemini-batch:list              # List all batches
php artisan gemini-batch:status {id}       # Detailed batch status
php artisan gemini-batch:check             # Dashboard overview of all batch activity
php artisan gemini-batch:cancel {id}       # Cancel a running batch
php artisan gemini-batch:prune             # Clean up old batches
